Indeed, I'm not speaking about the person in question here specifically, just that "try before you buy" is a legit reason a lot of otherwise financially-capable people still pirate games. The guy in this article is shady as heck, no doubt.

If you pirate and then buy shortly afterward, a crime has been committed but the net effect in the meantime was consistently zero — nothing was ever actually lost. You're not depriving them of revenue or product. By making the purchase as soon as you're able, you can't even say you caused a lost sale. Had you not…

keyboard + keyboard port, mouse, phone, up to 3 USB drives, up to 3 Arduinos, headset, oculus rift, monitor (with built-in card reader and hub), Bluetooth dongle, NVidia 3d vision transceiver, probably more... I have a crapton of USB ports on my PC and still manage to run out every now and then.

Why would you ever NOT want perfect response from your input devices? I absolutely cannot stand clickable trackpads, so hearing that this one still has physical buttons was one of the best bits of news out of this article.

Some of us actually follow through with it. I'm personally of the variety that prefers to just buy games right-out, and eat the cost if I don't end up liking the game (which has unfortunately cluttered my steam list with some games that ended up being crap...), but if a game gets released a few days before my paycheck…

It's actually pretty common. Pirate a game, and if you like it and want to keep playing it, buy it.

Agreed. I'm actually in the process of pricing a midrange PC build for a friend right now, and the total for this build (i5 with GTX750) is around $700. A gaming console plus a basic non-gaming PC from a prebuilt vendor would be around the same cost. Admittedly, not everyone wants or needs a PC for general-purpose…

You're right, but it's easy for people to cite the higher cost of a PC without considering how much more useful a PC is outside of gaming.

is this a meme now?

You're not the only one.

Always a pleasure =)

Part of the rules of anthropomorphism — the less human you make the design, the harder it is to empathize with it, and the more creepy/weird it can look. Ika Musume's design is pretty safe since the show was meant to be cute and funny, rather than realistic.

Squid girl is already a thing though.

works with my GB games to this day. recently I attempted to play some of my old pokemon games and they would be corrupt the first three or four times I plugged them in and turned the SP on. finally took out, blew in the cartridge, put back in... bam, it worked and stayed working from that point forward. this happen on…

That's quite a misplacement. Like accidentally putting solitaire.exe inside your porn folder.

32GB is not remotely enough for me. My Lumia 920 gets stuffed full on just my music and photos/videos I take, and I use a 64GB SD in my Shield so I can keep videos on it. Seriously considering fetching a 128GB card at some point.

so very perfect.

furthermore, not only is the run glitchless, it's 100%, all espers and whatnot, which means any skips they use would have to be relatively minor.

it's supposed to be a glitchless run. Just a fast runthrough. There have been some interesting tricks, but they're not flashy. Sounds like you're a little bit of a sour puss, the commentary and jokes are just the runners having a good time. Heck, they've gotta spend ~7ish hours straight on a game, they may as well…

I donated for the demon chocobo, and popular opinion among twitch viewers is for the demon chocobo as well, so nyaa.
